Edwin Diaz Picks Up His Fourth Save Of 2021

New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz picked up his fourth save of the season on Thursday in the Mets' 4-1 win over the Cardinals in St. Louis. In his one inning of work, Diaz did allow two hits but managed to strand both baserunners in securing the win. Although he didn't strike anyone out on […]

Trevor May Throws Another Clean Inning In Mets Win

New York Mets relief pitcher Trevor May threw a clean eighth inning in the Mets' 4-1 win over the Cardinals on Thursday. Over his one inning of work, May recorded two strikeouts, did not allow a base runner, and picked up his second hold of the season. After an inauspicious debut with the Mets back […]

Taijuan Walker Dominant On Thursday

New York Mets starting pitcher Taijuan Walker dominated the Cardinals on Thursday en route to his second win of the season in the Mets' 4-1 victory. Walker went seven innings, allowing only one hit and one unearned run while striking out eight. It was, without question, Walker's best start of the young 2021 campaign. He […]

David Price Throwing Off A Mound

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher David Price (hamstring) has resumed throwing off a mound. The southpaw was put on the 10-day injured list about a week ago after straining his right hamstring. This is a step in the right direction for the 35-year-old, although he may miss another week or two before rejoining the rotation. Price […]

Furkan Korkmaz Ruled Out For Friday

Philadelphia 76ers forward Furkan Korkmaz (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He'll miss his second straight game after suffering an ankle injury on Monday. It's unclear how long Korkmaz will be sidelined, but it shouldn't make a huge impact to the Sixers rotation. Tyrese Maxey and Matisse Thybulle […]

Joe Kelly Activated On Thursday

Los Angeles Dodgers relief pitcher Joe Kelly (shoulder) has been activated by the team. In November, the righty had surgery to address a right shoulder cyst and is a welcome addition to a rotation that has been plagued by injuries this season. Kelly had a 1.80 ERA throughout 12 regular-season appearances in 2020. However, outside […]

Kristaps Porzingis Not Expected To Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Head coach Rick Carlisle mentioned that Porzingis is making progress with his knee injury, but it's uncertain when he'll be back in the lineup. In the meantime, Maxi Kleber, Willie Cauley-Stein, and Dwight Powell will be asked to […]

Devonte' Graham Ruled Out Thursday

Charlotte Hornets guard Devonte' Graham (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bulls. He was listed as doubtful coming into this game, so this shouldn't come as a shock to anyone. His absence will mean more playing time for LaMelo Ball and Terry Rozier. Both players are possible DFS options, but […]

Aaron Hicks Dealt With Cramps During Thursday's Game

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks dealt with cramps in both legs during Thursday's loss to the Astros. Hicks had a three-hit day at the plate, driving in and scoring a run while drawing a walk. He was trying to stretch out his legs after reaching on an infield single in the eighth inning- and […]

Miguel Andujar To Take On Versatile Role In Minors

New York Yankees infielder/outfielder Miguel Andujar is playing multiple positions for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, including left field. Andujar saw some reps at first base and has started each of the last two games for the RailRiders in left, as the Yankees are clearly trying to think of as many ways as possible to get […]

Gary Trent Jr. Available Versus Wizards

Toronto Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr. (leg) is available for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Raptors could use Trent with Kyle Lowry (rest) and Yuta Watanabe (ankle) both sidelined. However, there is a good chance that Toronto limits Trent due to his ankle issue. Toronto needs this win to stay in the playoff […]

Killian Hayes Officially Out On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Killian Hayes (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The young guard was questionable throughout the day, but it appears the team is going to take the cautious approach here. Cory Joseph should have plenty of streaming appeal without Hayes available. However, he could be somewhat risky […]

Taylor Rogers Fans Four Rangers

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Taylor Rogers was lights-out in a non-save situation on Thursday, despite his team's loss. Rogers entered the game in the top of the eighth inning and proceeded to strike out each of the four batters he faced on just 15 pitches. The southpaw threw 13 of those pitches for strikes and […]

Cory Joseph Probable On Thursday

Detroit Pistons guard Cory Joseph (ankle) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran guard should be back in the mix along with Wayne Ellington (calf) on Thursday. Joseph is normally a useful fantasy option whenever the Pistons are banged up. However, Killian Hayes (illness) is questionable, so Joseph's value […]

Aron Baynes Won't Play Versus Wizards

Toronto Raptors center Aron Baynes (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Washington Wizards. The Raptors are in must-win territory with only a handful of games left in the regular season. Sadly, they will have a bunch of players sidelined for this game. Khem Birch is going to see all the minutes […]

Michael Pineda Records Quality Start Thursday

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Michael Pineda notched his third quality start of the season despite a no-decision on Thursday. Pineda pitched six innings, allowing a pair of runs on six hits while fanning five batters compared to one walk. The 32-year-old ran into trouble in the second inning, surrendering a home run to Joey Gallo […]

Malcolm Brogdon, Edmond Sumner Ruled Out Thursday

Indiana Pacers guards Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and Edmond Sumner (knee) have been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Brogdon has now missed four games in a row and it's uncertain when he'll get back on the court. Both Sumner and Jeremy Lamb (knee) will join him on the sideline for this one. […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (5/6/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Happy Thursday, RotoBallers! The season has flown by, and we only have a week and a half of regular-season games to go. It feels like yesterday that we were gearing up for a massive Christmas-Day slate, and we had no idea how the 2020-21 campaign would play out. Phoenix is rising, the Jazz is humming, and […]

Nick Gordon Steals A Pair Of Bases In Debut

Minnesota Twins infielder Nick Gordon went 1-for-2 with a walk and two stolen bases in his big-league debut Thursday. Gordon walked in his first at-bat, stole second base, then singled in his next at-bat, stealing second on an Andrelton Simmons strikeout. The 25-year-old flashed some base-stealing potential in the minors, though it was great to […]

Willians Astudillo Drives In A Pair Thursday

Minnesota Twins utility Willians Astudillo had a three-hit day and drove in a pair of runs in a losing effort to the Rangers on Thursday. Astudillo gave the Twins the lead with a two-run single in the third inning, then collected two more base hits for his fourth multi-hit game of the season. The versatile […]

Michael Houser Aims For Third Victory Versus Penguins

Buffalo Sabres goaltender Michael Houser will be out to stop the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night. The 28-year-old has come out of nowhere to win his first two career appearances this week, beating the Islanders in back-to-back games. Houser has saved 79 of 84 shots so far to register a .940 save percentage. It's already […]

Max Kepler Hits First Homer Of Season

Minnesota Twins outfielder Max Kepler went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, a pair of runs scored, and a walk in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers. Kepler had gone 19 games without homering before ripping a Jordan Lyles fastball 416 feet into the right-field seats at an exit velocity of 107.4 MPH. The German […]

Thatcher Demko Tries To End Losing Run Thursday Night

Vancouver Canucks goaltender Thatcher Demko will get his 30th start of the season on Thursday against Edmonton. The 25-year-old will head into the clash on a six-game losing run. Demko was hot before COVID-19 disrupted Vancouver's season, and he hasn't gotten going again since the team resumed play. His record for the season stands at […]

Clint Frazier Swats Two-Run Homer

New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier belted a two-run home run in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Astros. Frazier's homer was a line-drive shot, traveling 345 feet at an exit velocity of 100.5 MPH. The Georgia native now has three home runs on the season- and each of them has come in the last week. […]

John Gant Can't Finish The Fifth Inning On Thursday

St. Louis Cardinals starting pitcher John Gant took the loss on Thursday, dropping his record to 2-3. Gant didn't have much control in this one, as he threw 4 1/3 innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and six walks while striking out five. He needed 98 pitches and threw just 57 of […]

Mathew Barzal Will Play On Thursday

New York Islanders center Mathew Barzal (undisclosed) will be back in the lineup on Thursday against New Jersey, after missing his first game of the year in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to Buffalo. The club gave to reason for his absence, so they must've just rested Barzal with the postseason berth already wrapped up. Barzal […]

Cesar Hernandez Collects Three Hits Thursday

Cleveland Indians second baseman Cesar Hernandez went 3-for-5 with a double in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Kansas City Royals. Hernandez now has hit in four of his previous five games and has begun to cement himself atop the Indians lineup. He should provide solid fantasy value at a depleted position as the season moves […]

Mackenzie Blackwood Looks To Extend Winning Streak

New Jersey Devils goaltender Mackenzie Blackwood will be hunting for his fifth consecutive victory in Thursday's road outing versus the Islanders. The 24-year-old was in an awful slump before beating Philadelphia 6-4 last Tuesday, and he hasn't looked back ever since, beating the Flyers two more times before taking down Boston with 33 saves a […]
